"We did the math on how much money per employee YC in theory should drive and I think we’re something like 20ish million per year per employee in terms of market cap value created in the world. And that’s just the carry, that’s our take. In terms of value created for our limited partners, I think it’s closer to $100m per year per employee.” - @garrytan

this is great... back in 2015 - Sam Altman made a massive 'valuation bet'.
the media was saying tech is overhyped, overvalued, and so he outlined a bet on his blog:
It had 3 parts, he had to be right on all 3 to win:
1. LATE STAGE:
Uber / Palantir / AirBnB / Dropbox / Pinterest / SpaceX would 2X in value ($200B)
---> this barely missed, off by one year. Currently these are currently worth ~$520B+
2. MID STAGE:
Companies like stripe, coinbase, instacart etc. would be worth 3X in value ($27B)
---> this hit (and stripe alone is currently worth $90B)
3. EARLY STAGE:
The YC batch, worth $0 at the time, would be worth $3B.
--> This hit also. (and currently one company Gitlab itself ended up beign worth $8B)
Less vague opinions, more bets

examples of simplicity, done well:
Simple Positioning (I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC)
Simple Messaging (the rule of 3, people have much higher recall when you give them a list of 3)
Simple Promises (Trump: We're going to build a wall!)
Simple Skills (Bruce Lee: I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times")
Simple Strategy (Amazon: customer's care about low prices, high selection, and fast delivery. That's it)
Simple Health (you don't need 35 supplements to be healthy. Walk, eat whole foods, sleep well, drink water)
Simple Happiness (more cars, houses, money, wives.. more things don't make you more happy. Only 3-4 levers actually matter for happiness, health, community, a sense of progress)
